Pinterest

I can see why this site is so popular! You can browse through millions of photographs that people have posted, and sorted, into loose themes. You can find pictures of everything, animals, boats, cars, planes, mountains, bridges etc.

The downsides would seem to be many:

• It is very easy to waste hours looking at photographs
• Getting distracted is surprisingly simple (you start off with one subject and another leads you away)
• There is a definite problem with images not suitable for college (i.e. pornography)

I surfed for less than an hour and saw images of naked, and semi naked, men and women that should be censored, or the user warned about.

Because of this I do not feel that it a suitable site for the students to use in college.
